Festival

Trying to find a home away from home, when visiting the pilgrim city of the Naga while you experience and show your devotion to our Virgin Mother, also know to the Bicolanos as Our Lady of Peñafrancia? From translacion where our Lady is transferred to Naga Metropolitan Cathedral to the Peñafrancia Shrine and during the fluvial procession where Ina is returned to her permanent home at the Naga Basilica. Well, worry no more! Naga has a lot of hotels and inns that offer accommodations to devotees but the number one choice for excellence in service is the Avenue Plaza Hotel.

The feast of Our Lady of Peñafrancia is celebrated on the Sunday after the Octave (8 Days) of September 8 (The Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary) that usually falls on the second or third Sunday of September in Naga City, Bicol Philippines.

Naga City is known as the heart of Bicol. Millions of devotees of Our Lady flock to the city for the 9 days novena for our lady of Peñafrancia.
